Makaha Surfside
Preliminary Information – Full Audit Pending
This buildings features were determined from publicly available data, including MLS listings. While we cross-referenced additional data sources, it still likely contains incomplete or inaccurate information, as it has not yet been personally verified.
Once a building has been fully audited, this page will be replaced with an in-depth analysis featuring verified details and photos of every key feature.
Until then, we provide a data‑driven overview that blends statistical analysis of the checkbox selections agents make in MLS with an AI‑powered read of their public remarks—yielding a clearer picture of the building than raw listings alone.
If this building is important to your search, you can help prioritize it for a full audit by requesting one below. To see what a complete report looks like, check out the example full report.
Makaha Surfside
Building Overview
Makaha Surfside in Waianae Coast — concrete building (1974) with ocean views and on-site pool.
About Makaha Surfside
Makaha Surfside is located on the Waianae Coast and was built in 1974. The building is concrete construction and is served by five elevators. Size and unit mix details are not provided in the available MLS data.
According to available records, Makaha Surfside offers ocean, mountain, and sunset views and on-site amenities that include a pool, fitness center, BBQ area, a resident manager, and a security guard. Air conditioning is by window units.
Additional details from MLS indicate covered, assigned parking is available along with guest parking. Pets and short-term rentals are not allowed. The management company is listed as unknown in the MLS. Based on MLS data, buyers should verify these features, rules, and any applicable fees with the listing agent or property management.

I searched for owner-occupancy indicators such as percentages or descriptive statements like "majority owner occupied." The remarks do not provide any owner-occupancy information, so the percentage remains unknown.
The public remarks directly confirm the elevator count. One listing explicitly states there are "5 elevators throughout the property," and other remarks consistently reference elevators or elevator access. This strongly supports keeping the current value at 5.
Calculated from the lowest association fee observed across all non-penthouse unit listings for this building.
Calculated from the highest association fee observed across all non-penthouse unit listings for this building.

There is strong building-level support for this feature from current MLS data: 15/20 listings include OTCOEX in association fees. While the remarks do not explicitly say "common area electricity," the repeated reference to maintenance/common areas being included aligns with the MLS pattern and suggests this is a real building-wide inclusion rather than a copy-paste error.

Only 1 of 20 current MLS listings shows HOTWAT checked while many listings specifically state 'tankless water heater', 'new water heater', or list WTRHTR in inclusions (about 10/20), indicating units have their own hot water heaters. Multiple agent remarks confirm in-unit water heaters, so hot water is not included in the monthly maintenance fee.

Sewer inclusion is very strongly supported across the building. At least several listings explicitly say the monthly maintenance fee includes "water, sewer, and trash collection," and the MLS checkbox is present in 18/20 listings, which is consistent with a true building-level feature.
Water inclusion has the strongest support of the three features. The MLS checkbox appears in 19/20 listings, and multiple listings explicitly mention "water" as included in the maintenance fee, making this a very high-confidence building-level feature.
BBQ/grilling facilities are overwhelmingly confirmed across the listings. Nearly every remark references "BBQ area," "BBQ pavilion," "barbecue area," or similar wording, making this one of the clearest building features in the dataset. The evidence is consistent across multiple agents and strongly supports inclusion.

Strong repeated evidence supports this feature. Current remarks mention it in many listings, including phrases like "exercise room," "fitness room," "full gym," "workout room," and "fitness center." The consistency across multiple agents suggests this is a real shared amenity, not a copy-paste error.
No analysis available
There is clear direct evidence for a shared meeting room/community room amenity. At least a few current remarks explicitly say "meeting room" alongside other common-area amenities, supporting that this feature exists at the building.
Multiple listings (10+ from different agents) explicitly mention unit lanais/balconies and building BBQ/poolside pavilions, e.g., 'one of the larger lanais in the complex,' 'watch the sunset from your lanai,' and 'BBQ pavilion perfect for gatherings.' Other units reference a 'Juliet balcony' and 'oceanfront pavilion with BBQ and picnic areas,' indicating consistent availability of patio/deck-type outdoor spaces. Even though only a minority of MLS checkboxes flag PATDEC/COVPAT, the detailed remarks provide strong evidence that patio/deck amenities exist in this building.
Current remarks repeatedly reference a "walking/jogging path" and a "paved walking path that winds throughout the property." This is consistent with a real building-wide amenity rather than a one-off unit feature.

Moderate evidence: several listings mention a 'meeting room', 'rec room', 'recreation room' or 'recreation area' (explicit phrases found in a number of public remarks), while MLS shows this amenity in 4/20 listings. The mentions are explicit but not ubiquitous, so inclusion is warranted with moderate confidence.
Moderately strong evidence: although CURRENT MLS checkbox count for RECROO is lower (2/20), many public remarks describe a 'meeting room', 'rec room', or 'recreation room with gym equipment', indicating the building offers at least one shared recreation/meeting space that agents mention across listings.
No analysis available
No analysis available
Sauna access is very strongly confirmed across many listings. Current remarks repeatedly mention "sauna," including multiple units citing "2 saunas," "male/female saunas," and "sauna room," making this a high-confidence shared amenity.
Several listings describe building-level storage features, including a unit with a 'covered parking stall & storage locker,' another with 'assigned parking with storage,' and remarks noting 'storage closets' and 'storage space for your surfboard' as part of the common amenities. This appears in at least 4 different listings from different agents, suggesting dedicated storage facilities are a consistent, shared amenity rather than a one-off unit feature. Despite sparse MLS checkbox use, the detailed remarks provide strong evidence that Makaha Surfside offers resident storage/locker options.
The remarks directly mention surfboard storage, including explicit wording about storage space for a surfboard. This is clear evidence that the building offers surfboard storage facilities.
No analysis available
No current listing remarks explicitly mention a trash chute, despite the MLS checkbox appearing in some records. Because the historical confidence was low and the remarks are silent across many listings, the most likely explanation is inconsistent or copied MLS data rather than a verified building feature. This is the weakest feature in the set and should be treated cautiously.

Pool is strongly confirmed at Makaha Surfside. Dozens of current listings mention it, most commonly "two swimming pools" or "two pools on property," and several describe views of or immediate access to the pool. The evidence is consistent across multiple agents and appears to be repeated building-level amenity data rather than a one-off copy-paste error.
No remarks (0/20) explicitly state the pools are heated; listings repeatedly call them 'two pools', 'sparkling pools', or 'salt water pools' but never 'heated' or 'heated pool'. While 3/20 MLS amenity checkboxes list HEAPOO, the absence of any 'heated' language in detailed remarks across the dataset strongly indicates the pools are not heated; the few MLS flags appear to be inconsistent agent checkbox usage.
This is directly supported by the remarks, which explicitly say the complex has two salt water pools. No interpretation is needed here.
No analysis available
There is overwhelming evidence that Makaha Surfside has shared/community laundry facilities. In the current remarks, dozens of listings mention it directly, including phrases like 'community laundry facility,' 'on-site laundry,' 'laundry facilities,' and '2 community laundry areas,' which appears consistent across multiple agents and listing styles rather than a one-off copy-paste error.
I looked for public remarks indicating paid laundry, such as coin laundry, coin-op, card-operated machines, quarters, or laundry fees. The listings mention community/on-site laundry facilities, but never say they require payment.
I searched for explicit wording like "laundry on each floor," "laundry on every floor," or "floor-by-floor laundry" and found none. The remarks do confirm laundry exists in the building, but not that it is available on every floor.
Parking is clearly a building-wide feature. Current public remarks mention it in dozens of listings with phrases like "2 open parking stalls," "covered parking," "parking garage," "assigned parking," and "dedicated parking stall." The evidence is consistent across multiple agents and unit types, so this appears strongly supported rather than copy-paste noise.
Assigned/reserved parking is strongly supported across the listing history and current remarks. Many listings explicitly mention "assigned parking," "deeded covered parking," "reserved parking spot," or "designated parking stall," often across different agents and unit types. This looks consistent and well-established for the building.
Covered parking is well supported for Makaha Surfside. Numerous remarks mention "covered parking stall," "covered assigned parking," "parking garage," and "deeded covered parking space," appearing across multiple listings and buildings/units. The evidence is consistent and strong enough to treat as a building feature.
The remarks repeatedly use explicit deeded-parking wording rather than just assigned or included parking. That is strong evidence the building has deeded/owned parking stalls in at least some units.
No analysis available
I searched for language like parking fee, monthly parking charge, parking rental, or extra cost for parking and found none. The listings describe assigned, covered, deeded, and guest parking, but do not indicate a recurring parking fee.
Guest parking appears to be available at the building. Several listings explicitly reference "guest parking," "ample guest parking available," "lots of guest parking," and "22 guest stalls," which is stronger than a checkbox-only signal. The evidence is broad and consistent across remarks.
Many listings describe Makaha Surfside as a “secured, gated” property with “24/7 gated security” and specifically note that the “parking entry has security guard” and that there is a “secure parking garage.” This repeated emphasis on gated/guarded access supports that the parking facilities have secured entry, even though only a subset of MLS checkboxes explicitly flag it.

I looked for references to joining a parking waitlist, waiting for a stall, or parking availability queues and found nothing. The remarks instead describe assigned, deeded, guest, and reserved stalls.
No analysis available
I searched for card/fob-based access wording such as key card access, fob access, card readers, or electronic access. The remarks mention secured entry, gated access, keyed entry, and security guards/patrols, but not a card system.
Security guard service is strongly supported for Makaha Surfside. Dozens of listings explicitly mention "24-hour security," "24/7 gated security," "security guard," or "security patrol," and this appears consistently across multiple agents rather than a one-off remark. The current remarks align with the historical MLS checkbox data, so this feature should remain true.
Multiple listings clearly describe patrol-style security, including 24-hour security patrol and security patrolling the community. This is strong, repeated evidence that the building has security patrol service.

There is strong evidence that Makaha Surfside units can have window air conditioning. Multiple current listings explicitly mention it across different units and agents, which supports the historical MLS checkbox data rather than looking like a copy-paste error. Because the feature appears in several independent remarks, this should be kept as a building-level feature available in some units.
All current MLS records (20/20) list CONCRE for construction materials, making concrete construction highly certain for Makaha Surfside. The remarks are unit-focused and do not provide contrary construction details, but nothing suggests a different structural material.
No analysis available
Limited and inconsistent MLS evidence: only 4 of 20 current MLS records list 'HOLTIL' and none of the numerous public remarks mention hollow tile. With no supporting descriptions in agent remarks and low historical confidence, hollow-tile construction is not supported by the public remarks and appears unlikely, though MLS checkbox entries are not uniformly cleared.
Moderate evidence: 6 of 20 MLS records include MASSTU and multiple listings describe concrete/cinder-block walls that have been drywalled/surfaced. While remarks do not explicitly say 'stucco', the pattern of masonry/concrete construction with finished exteriors supports including masonry/stucco at an implied confidence level.
No analysis available
There is limited but real MLS support for a slab foundation at the building level: 5 of 20 current listings include SLAB. However, the remarks do not directly confirm a concrete slab foundation, so this is best treated as implied rather than strongly verified.
No analysis available
No analysis available
MLS data continues to show ABOGRO in a meaningful subset of listings (7/20), and the historical record was already high confidence for this building. The remarks repeatedly discuss ground-floor and upper-floor units, elevator access, and same-level parking, which is consistent with above-ground construction rather than any contrary evidence.
Weak evidence: only 2 of 20 MLS construction_materials include BRICK and no public remarks reference brick or brick-and-mortar construction. Given the lack of corroborating remarks, it's unlikely the building is primarily brick construction.
No analysis available
I searched for short-term rental signals such as STR permitted, NUC, TVU, legal vacation rental, hotel rental program, or 30-day minimum rules and found no direct evidence. Because there is no explicit support in the public remarks, the safest reading is that STR allowance is not confirmed.
I found no evidence of any hotel rental pool, branded rental program, or hotel-managed operation. Since short-term rentals are not established from the remarks, this feature must be false.
I searched for mandatory pool language such as required participation, must rent, cannot opt out, or flexible/optional pool wording and found none. With no evidence of STR approval either, there is no basis for a mandatory rental pool.
No analysis available
No analysis available
I searched for ground lease, leasehold, lease expiry, renewal, and expiration-year language, but found no 4-digit lease end date. The public remarks consistently indicate fee simple ownership, so there is no applicable lease-expiry year to extract.
Public remarks explicitly confirm VA financing is accepted at this building. The evidence appears multiple times, including direct VA-friendly financing language and a VA loan assumable example, so confidence is very high.
I looked for HOA insurance language that would indicate walls-in or full building coverage. The remarks contain no such references, so there is no public-remarks evidence that the building is fully insured.
No analysis available
I searched the remarks for explicit fire/life safety compliance language, including FLSE-related phrases, fire safety certification, and passed inspection statements. Nothing in the provided remarks confirms the building has passed a fire/life safety evaluation, so this remains unverified and is treated as absent in the remarks.
Flood zone determined from official FEMA Digital Flood Insurance Rate Map (DFIRM) data using building coordinates, not from agent-reported listing data.

Ocean views are overwhelmingly supported across the building. Dozens of current remarks say things like "unobstructed ocean views," "breathtaking ocean views," "Pacific Ocean," and "oceanfront living," showing this is a core building-level selling point rather than a copy-paste anomaly.
Mountain views appear in a meaningful subset of listings, though far less consistently than ocean views. Several remarks explicitly call out 'Waianae mountain range,' 'mountain and sunset,' and 'Mauna Lahilahi,' indicating some units in the building do offer mountain views. This looks like a real building-level option rather than an isolated or purely copied MLS checkbox.

Coastline views are supported, though less consistently than ocean or sunset views. A smaller set of remarks mentions "coastal views," "West Coastline," and "Leeward Coast," indicating that some units do advertise shoreline/coastal outlooks.
Garden/landscaped views appear in a minority of listings, but they are present enough to support the feature. A few remarks mention "gorgeous landscaped grounds," "grassy back yard," and views of the "green area," suggesting some units look over garden-like common areas.
No analysis available
No analysis available
Limited but present evidence: a small number of remarks explicitly advertise 'sunrise views' or 'wake up each morning to stunning sunrise views' (quoted in at least one listing), suggesting a few units may have sunrise/eastern exposure. Evidence is limited to a handful of listings, so confidence is moderate.
Sunset views are strongly supported throughout the building. Many listings explicitly say "sunset views," "watch the sunset," "breathtaking sunsets," or reference the "West Coastline," which indicates this is a recurring and intentionally marketed feature.
No analysis available
I searched for explicit references to watching fireworks from a lanai, unit, or building view and found nothing. The remarks focus on ocean, sunset, lagoon, and marine-life views instead.

MLS checkbox data currently lists RESMAN on 8 of 20 listings, and multiple remarks explicitly state there is an on-site/resident manager (quotes found: 'resident manager's office on site', 'on-site manager', 'on site management'). Evidence is repeated across different listings and agents; while some copy/paste risk exists, the combination of checklist data and repeated remark confirmations supports including resident manager = true.
